Pesto Experience in Via Garibaldi
The marble mortar, fresh Genovese DOP basil, pine nuts, Ligurian extra virgin olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Pecorino cheese: the iconic ingredients of authentic Genoese pesto become the stars of an exclusive culinary experience in the heart of historic Genoa. This hands-on cooking class takes place in an elegant frescoed hall overlooking Via Garibaldi, the famous UNESCO-listed street of the Rolli Palaces. Guided by foodteller Fabio Bongiorni, you’ll learn how to make traditional pesto by hand using the ancient marble mortar technique, while discovering stories, traditions, and culinary secrets from Liguria. After a welcome toast with a glass of local Vermentino wine, you’ll enjoy the pesto you prepared yourself, served with authentic Genoese focaccia, bruschette, and a selection of local specialties. A refined and immersive experience, perfect for couples, small groups, and travelers looking to discover the true flavors and atmosphere of Genoa.
